At a glance

Traces intermittent UI, stale state, ordering and navigation bugs through a browser to find the first boundary where correct data becomes wrong.

  • Works in 7 steps: Make the symptom falsifiable → Reproduce on the approved isolated surface → Find the first broken boundary → …
  • A UI bug appears only sometimes or only in the browser
  • SKILL.md covers Mandatory foundation, Responsibility boundary, Diagnostic workflow and Diagnostic supplements
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Extending the repository's acceptance skill, this one adds a diagnostic workflow rather than its own test process. Before touching a browser, Electron client, network or cache, the agent must read acceptance and the project's PROCESS.md in full and follow their rules for target grounding, environment and auth checks, approvals, evidence and teardown. If acceptance is unavailable or its gate is blocked, it stops.

Safety rules are explicit: use the isolated environment the project adapter selects, never the user's signed-in production browser or client, treat production investigation as read-only, and never read secret files or print credentials or full live objects, returning structural projections only. The diagnosis begins by making the symptom falsifiable with one expected invariant and one observed violation, plus the triggering action and the state before, during and after it.

It then records whether navigation, remount, refresh, tab switching or waiting changes the symptom, and compares state boundary by boundary. By its responsibility table, the skill adds minimal fixture extraction, pure-function replay, commit A/B comparison and guidance for fixing at the earliest boundary, while acceptance keeps environment isolation, authentication, approvals and publishing of evidence.

When your agent uses it

  • A UI bug appears only sometimes or only in the browser
  • Stale state, wrong ordering or broken navigation shows up after an interaction
  • A regression needs to be pinned to the commit or boundary that introduced it

Example prompts

  • “The sidebar list shows stale items after switching tabs. Find the first boundary where the data goes wrong.”
  • “Debug why messages appear in the wrong order after a refresh, using the browser.”
  • “Compare the last two commits to find where the topic list stopped updating after navigation.”

Requirements

  • The repository's acceptance skill and PROCESS.md
  • A browser or Electron environment prepared by the project adapter

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Make the symptom falsifiable
  2. Reproduce on the approved isolated surface
  3. Find the first broken boundary
  4. Build the smallest safe fixture
  5. Attribute with the same fixture
  6. Fix the earliest incorrect boundary
  7. Return to the acceptance workflow for verification

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6aaeeee. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Frontend Browser Debugging loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 804 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 804 words (~1,660 tokens).

“Find the first boundary where correct data becomes incorrect. This skill extends acceptance; it does not define a separate test workflow.”
